Not really sure where to post this but I figured this would be a close to appropiate section. I am trying to research on the S2K and I saw someone mention something about richmond 6 speeds for built transmissions I tryed to search and could pull anything up except people saying its a good company. Now has anyone done a full 6 speed swap from them not just the rear end curious what all was needed and what kind of fabrication had to happen if any at all. Or if anyone could point me in the right direction worst case scenario I will go straight to richmond but I figured I would try and grab as much information before hand. Oh and I am new to the forum and researching because I am highly considering an S2K.

Thanks

This place makes a Bell Housing to fit a Ford trasmission to an f20/f22 block.

And Richmond makes this transmission with a fair number of options, most of which can be ordered from summit racing for a little over $3k

Unfortunately, i have not heard of anyone using that bellhousing or which style ford transmission it fits or how one of these Richmond transmissions might work in an S2k.

BTW my application is a high HP (550-650) road race setup.

 

This looks like an interesting option.

which type ford transmission can you use with this bell housing?

 

Thanks that is definitely a start.

 

Ford Type 9 Gear boxes fit in this bell housing.

 

so i presume you need a new drive shaft too? whats cool is i think all this stuff to change is still cheape rthen a ppg tranny.

 

What is a PPG transmission?

 

$10k helical cut or straight cut dog box tranny. its crazy strong, but super expensive. using a richmond tranny that is still designed for what 400-500tq is a nice alternative for the guy that is not all out.

stock tranny can break on stock power

 

Yeah sucks stock tranny is not an abuse taker and for me that PPG tranny is out of the question f*** that. So far Richmond just referred me to antoher company so richmond is not going to be able to help me out but hopefully the guys they referred me to can.

 

Whose the guy you were referred too? I'd be interested in this as well. I'd really like to do something with the trans but can't drop $10000 on a ppg setup.
